    To be fair I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s already a vendor for that. They already kinda do that with Chromebooks at schools, and work computers are sometimes lent out to workers including those with beefy hardware. Doing it strictly for gaming wouldn’t be that much of a stretch lol

      Pretty common in corporations. In a company I used to work I got a new computer with the latest specs every year. In the one I’m now they own them and I have to fight to get upgrades.

      Can’t recall the vendor, but I saw at least one that tried a rent-a-PC things aimed at gamers. But the price was egregious, and I wanna say they didn’t even ship the hardware they advertised.

      Anyway, point was it’s already being tested in the wild…
